All eyes will be on Christian Pulisic (£7.1m) and Willian (£7.1m) as Chelsea host Watford this evening.

The American has been the subject of much transfer activity in the build-up to Gameweek 33+ after scoring at least seven points in each of his three appearances post-lockdown.

That has earned him 180,000+ new owners for this round, as Watford come to Stamford Bridge.

Even more Fantasy managers took an interest in the penalty-taking Willian, whose pair of double-digit hauls in Gameweeks 31+ and 32+ convinced 188,000+ to sign him up for Gameweek 33+.

Outside of the attacking midfielders, investment in Chelsea’s starting XI is rather scant by comparison, with the more fashionable options finding themselves on the bench.

Mason Mount (£6.2m) does still shoulder the responsibility of 16.2% managers worldwide and starts against Watford, but the 15.6% owned Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) is named among the substitutes alongside Marcos Alonso (£6.2m).

Those who witnessed Chelsea’s defeat at West Ham last time out will not be too surprised to see the left-back lose his place as he was largely responsible for the winning goal.

Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) moves over to take his place for Gameweek 33+, allowing Frank Lampard to reintroduce Reece James (£4.9m) into the Blues’ starting line-up.

Hardly anyone stands out for Fantasy purposes in the Watford side.

Ben Foster (£4.9m) remains their most popular asset but is still only owned by 3.7% of managers worldwide.

Second-most-fashionable Craig Cathcart (£4.3m) doesn’t even make the starting XI, benched for the second away match in a row.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, R James; Mount, Kanté, Barkley; Pulisic, Giroud, Willian.

Watford XI: Foster; Femenía, Dawson, Kabasele, Mariappa; Chalobah, Capoue; Hughes, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

    Fernandes 2 bonus oly???and what about Martinez any chance to sneak up to 1 at least?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, striker's goals are heavy on the baps scale.

  2. Strchld

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Do we expect Lascelles to play? Have Saiss first on bench..

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He will be assessed ahead of kickoff but we won't get any press conference.

        Thanks

    All main rivals have Salah C and Bruno (VC) and i have Salah C and Jimenez (VC). Wouldnt be suprised if Salah miss game tomorrow

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No chance he misses out

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        How ? He missed game vs Everton. I think Klopp will rest Salah and Mane in next two games. Maybe resting Salah away vs Brighton is more reasonable

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Battered by City, fuming Klopp afterwards, first game at anfield since winning league, they’ll want a big win after that. All points to him starting, just no chance he’ll be rested imo. After villa who knows, but villa, no chance

          1. Niho992

            I hope you're right mate.

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hello bro
        So good to see you around !!
        I'm having a freefall Actually.
        Since restart OR has taken a pounding.
        14k to 60k ish ...

        Enjoy the FPL man ... Don't worry about anything else !

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          You too bud! Ahh sorry to hear that, still though an amazing rank in this freak season.
          Shall do matey 😉

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Yep 🙂
            I was actually thinking where is this man gone .. 😀
            This name change is completely different alongside grav so no idea

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Made transfers already? =)

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Have to do early transfers ... Think with a good bench I'm taking the risk 😛

    Knew I should I have done Aubameyang to Vardy -4!!! Haha

  6. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wiith upcoming fixtures in mind who makes way for Kane

    A. Jimi
    B DCL

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez. Sold him after the game. Looks knackered, fixtures aren't amazing, more expensive than DCL too.

    2. T.Henry14
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL.
      Jimi is better player and plays for better team.

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both and get Ings

  7. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    60 with puli kdb taa Mane lascelles to go..Going good till now..

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah’s 4 goals may dampen things hehe

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Double my total!

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Sterling & Nketiah to Foden & Kane for -4?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure. I know that’s rich considering my thoughts about a -8 below!

    2. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends will Sterling start tomorrow

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking the same

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Me too. If Sterling doesnt start i'm going to C him in FH team.

  9. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’m not going to make any changes tonight but I’m considering these approaches:

    A) Saving the FT
    B) Just moving on ASM
    C) Going nuclear with a -8 of De Gea + ASM + Rashford > Ederson + Martial + Greenwood

    Currently 1FT, 0.0ITB
    De Gea
    TAA Doherty Holgate (Justin Lascelles)
    Salah KdB Mahrez Bruno (ASM)
    Rash Jimi Nketiah

    Thanks!

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just do ASM to Foden. You've 2 United attackers and one defensive player. Be happy with it. Get 3 City attackers instead.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ha, cheers. That was the original plan.

  10. diesel001

    6 years, 1 month ago

    This is an attacking Chelsea team with Mount and Barkley in midfield. May be gaps for Doucoure and Sarr to exploit if Chelsea can't stay disciplined for 90 mins.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Going to be a good game for sure
      Frank should be given credit for bringing Mount !
      He's a talented lad

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think any of Chelsea's British youngsters are in the first XI next season. They need to be putting in performances now if they really want to make Lampard think.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          From this i hope covacic doens't end up signing with them.
          35m£ for him seems good bet. Hopefully United can land him

          1. The Suspended One

                Nope you already got Matić

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Mount is going to play; he’s the new Milner

        3. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I agree with this. Amazing Frank has had to use them due to transfer ban and not one of them would get into an England side atm.

        4. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Mount and possibly james will be in first 11. Cho could if potential comes out and not hampered by injuries. Far too much hype about ziech and Werner.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Ziyech will have to adjust to the physicality but Werner is the real deal

  11. jimmy.floyd
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Cantwell to Foden or ASM?

  12. HNI
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    People going with 3 Manutd attackers should be warned that after AVL, Manutd schedule is unfairly heavy thanks to tv rights and have 5 matches with just 3 days gap. Last time when Manutd played after 3 days was FA cup and only Bruno Shaw and Maguire kept their place. So I think long term Bruno+Maguire+1 of Rash/Martial/Greewood look best

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's good heads-up. But my 3rd is gonna be Greenwood and if he looks like he isn't starting I'll happily bench him.

    2. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      unfairly ? Stop moaning ffs. Almost every team have similar schedule.

      You got 50 penalties this season ffs. I wouldnt moaning on your place

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Ogs gonna run them into the dirt chasing cl

      1. ZeBestee
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, agreed 100%

    4. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ole will start them all til they drop dead, wait and see. 😀

    5. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      FA Cup is lower priority than top 4 though, it'll be interesting to see how much Ole rotates then, I suspect not very much.

  13. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford + Foden
    OR
    Martial + DCL

    Foden gives me triple City mids.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d ditch DCL for Ings

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No money for that.

        Unless I lose TAA... Which I'm getting quite close to doing...

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          You have doc?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Nope. I think he's still extremely overpriced.

            But I'm 90% sure I'm gonna buy Digne.

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              I like that; I’d find room for Ings and Tony, sou has a great run in after the next 2 which aren’t as bad matchups as they may look on paper

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I think you need Tony at this stage he’s a shield

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Second option

  14. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Did puli and Kane in for DCL and Son, but confirmed JUST after deadline, didn’t realize it... I am now hiding from my top two picks for the week as well as Salah mane and man city mids not named kdb

    Now the players I was trying to bin are my impact differentials.

    This can’t end well

  15. BNMC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jimenez and VVD out
    Kane and Digne in (-4)
    Thoughts?

  16. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why I didn't do DeGea > Ederson and DCL > Greenwood for free like I planned.
    Got Mahrez and Foden instead. Time to shine again boys.

    1. The Rock
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      So if Mahrez and Foden bot haul, are you still going to complain? Or will you be lucky if they do well?

      1. Strchld
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Im lucky If they both starts. Feel super lucky also If they outscore Ederson and Greenwood.

        1. The Rock
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Well there is a very good chance Foden starts on the bench this time which is predictable enough i think.

          Mahrez and David Silva will be certain starters and probably Bernardo too. Foden may start if Sterling is rested. KdB also could be rested this game.

          I'm a Foden (and Mahrez and KDB) owner too and still started Foden, could do plenty damage even in 30 mins. Hope they do well for us!

          1. Strchld
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, lets hope the best. Good luck!

  17. HNI
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone knows why Manutd match vs AVL was shifted ahead to Thursday instead of regular Tue-Wed? SO harsh in this hectic schedule already. I feel its due to TV money..What do you reckon?

  18. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford out for Greenwood done

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years

      Template mobe this GW

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years

        Yep, just gotta have him now. UTD scoring for fun and his price is gold!

  19. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Early thoughts on DDG Jim to Ederson Greenwood?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Means keeping Rashford

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      Sounds good

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad

  20. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Pepe? He wasn't on the bench also.

    1. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Baby watch!

  21. Djemba-Djemba
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How likely is it that Greenwood continues to start? I have AWB, Rash and Fernandes. Wondering I should move things around to get Greenwood in

    1. The Rock
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Its his place to lose. Won't be dropped now. But still could be rested like anyone else.

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Pondering Jota to Greenwood and AWB to VVD/Robbo myself.

  22. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    People selling United defenders & DDG. I think it's not a good idea. Have 2 attackers and one defender/DDG. All the upcoming games have CS potential. Also the remaining teams won't let United score 5 goals against them.

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years

      I think you re right as usual. Biggest expert on this page. Salut bro

            Hahaha thanks mate. Cheers.

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Right about CS.
      Not sure about not letting score 5
      Our front 4 in mood with Pogbehind them can tear anything apart

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes maybe you're right. I'm myself a United fan and I really want us to keep scoring like this. But I doubt it. There'll be games where we score 2 goals max.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Man Utd now one of the very best teams in the world in attack
      But very average in defence
      So attack triple up makes sense IMO

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        We had 6 CS in last 8 PL games before this match and all the upcoming games have CS potential.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Maguire too slow? Koulibaly partnering him to make it more solid

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like United defense really. There's better value. And they have 4 attackers that are all extremely good value and in great form.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe ingesting in United defence would look repulsive to some. But selling United defenders to get triple United attack is a bit extreme.

        1. Pep Roulette

      Can I introduce you to our lord and saviour: kneejerk?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha yes. This is typical kneejerk. People loading up on triple United attack makes sense to me. But people selling United defenders for United attackers, and that too for a hit is beyond me.

    Ever feel like we're slowly watching Jamie Redknapp turn into Harry

    I think knee-jerking out Jiminez is probably a bad idea

      Or is it?

    2. GreennRed

      50/50 but will prob keep him for next GW.

      I don't. He looks knackered and his fixtures aren't even that good. Greenwood is way cheaper with better fixtures and better form. Ings is in better form. Rashford too.

        I would rather have Jimi than Ings

      He's consistent but not very explosive. I think it's fine to go on without him.

      Should I sell Jimmy or DCL?

    Not to put too much pressure, but I sold Barnes for you Pulisic

      You'll enjoy watching him.
      Very involved in attacking play.
      Hopefully transpires into points this week

    Last time i owned Pulisic he was trash
    I own him again.....

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      He was good when I had him. I'm quite sure he doesn't check FPL for motivation...
